Why Is It So Hard To Get To Saturn, Uranus And Neptune?
488Why is it so difficult to get to Saturn?
Since space exploration began, only four spaceships have managed to reach Saturn. But, only one managed to enter the planet's bowels and reveal what is hidden under its cloud-filled atmosphere. Is it difficult to get to the planet with the giant asteroid rings?
The Gas Giants
One of the main reasons Saturn is so difficult for our spacecraft or space exploration probes to visit is that it is part of the planets known as "gas giants," which are very far from Earth and the sun.
Why is it so difficult to get to Uranus? The strangest planet
Uranus is the only planet tilted; because of this, one of its poles is always pointing at the sun and the other in the opposite direction; this makes it one of the strangest planets and, at the same time, one of the most unexplored.
Uranus is the seventh planet in the solar system, the third largest, and the fourth most massive. It is a gaseous planet that has no surface where humans can walk.
For years, space agencies, in space to NASA have sent various exploration probes to investigate the solar system's planets. Still, it seems that every time new missions are proposed to the planets, Uranus passes completely from being perceived, in fact, is ignored more than its farthest twin Neptune.
To date, only one exploration probe has visited this planet, and it was Voyager 2 that quickly passed close to it in 1986 solely to gain momentum.
So why is there so little interest in exploring this planet? Is it so difficult to reach, or does it simply have nothing to offer us?
Is it challenging to get to Neptune, the farthest planet?
Neptune is the farthest planet in the solar system. Since its discovery, only one spacecraft has reached this distant planet, making it the most unexplored planet of all, but why has it only been visited once? Is it because is too far from Earth, or is there something else preventing us from reaching Neptune?
The first approach
The only spacecraft to reach Neptune was Voyager 2 in 1989. This was the first time the human race had placed a spaceship near this planet. Although one hundred and forty-three years had passed since its discovery, we knew very little about this planet.
